Fixes:

Enabled 32bit documents and associated studio UI (including OCIO)

Resizing documents should scale guides and slices as appropriate so they appear to be in the correct location

Fix for Mountain Lion in the new Export Persona (panels disappear completely and the app becomes unstable)

EPS export improvements with thin lines and mitre joins

Fixes for Text Styles (editing 'No Style' and clicking in certain areas of the style preview)

OpenType tweaks

Print speed improvements

Improved error reporting when opening PSD files

Fix for PDF import of Japanese fonts

Shortcut for soft-return is now shift+return

Fix for issues seen when bleeds are unequal on different sides

Fix for issues seen when trying to output selected areas to PDF and accidentally generating multi-page PDFs

Automatic slice rectangle calculations should not include the layer effect inflation from the parents

Improved output-path validation for Export Persona

Added 32bit PSD export

Added EXR/HDR export

Initial support for new Touch Bar on MacBook Pro

Added Polygonal and Magnetic lasso selection modes

Fix for Fonts list jiggling around at times when moving up/down in the list

Fix for copying groups within Symbols causing 'the beginning of the end'
